COMO TO VAzm.
Frank o. Meeker, ESQ, oua Of the
lesdinR lawyers Of the Piercs County
Bar Aad chairman Of the Rspnhlican
County Commitfsa, has retired from the
profession Of Law aud gone 20 farming.
He has fine farm Of 255 aoFee In Puy-
all1p valley. all Of which 10 under calti-
vation on 70 pasturaae. Frank I'D a
large acreage Of hops last season which
be sold when they we're Just pespinR
above the brown earth--seld them az
fourteen cenfs, or thereabouts. They
yielded beautifully and Vhiis be staod
upon his p0rtiso and watched ahem
grow and flourish, be heard she price 10

had sold--and up, tueuty. twenty. i've,
thirty. thirty I've, until the bright, green
vines, bending from their poles with
the weights Of their valuable cfep, could
only represent 10 him Q whole lot Of
money lost, but he Fever moved a
muscle. One might have thought that
this experienoe woald have changed
Mr.. Mseker'a thoughts rather from
farming 10 law. bui these things do uoa
always have the same effect upon Diff
feFent people. Mr.. Meeker's is . beauti-
full piaoe adiaoent to Puyalfup, where
be can step over and get his morning
paper every day With more ease than
coming ali the way to Taooms.
OvKR on UNDER.
Il is now definitely stated. up9n very
good authority, that the site Of the new
Union Depot" Of the Northern Pacific
will be on Pacific avenue, north Of the
car shops Whether the line will 90
over OF under Fifteenth street 10 not de-
cided as yet, 90 far IS can be learned.
Fifteenth street seems 10 have bethefed
the ensineeFs not little. IL 10 the
street - the city proper that is 10 get
through TO the water front-the only
street that can do 30 without al eleyz-
tor or an inclins plane. n the street
goes under the track, then the railroad
company will build q bridge over it.
The street. however. is Of 20 accommo
dating grade at this place that Il can
just ss readily 90 over. and In that case,
no doubt, the eity will build the bridge
that would probably be cheaper for
the railroad. bat in the matter Of losing
time-but then 10 IL sOmsthiaR of toss
between the two which can be the
slower. II the stree. goes over the
railroad IL will extend upoR stilts to the
wharf. the location of which has long
been fixed Jon the map.
WILL ATTACK TIE SALOONS.
Mrs. Hampson-H egaus. who has begun
a revival work here, is attracting more
attention daily. Last evening she had
quite an audiences ct the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and anno1aeed an
intention 10 begin q crusade against the
saloons next Monday. The exact ma
ture Of the orusa 20 vas not stated, bat
those who ought to know say that Mrs..
Hemus. with her followers, will person
ally visit the saloons, one after the
other, and pray aud sisg With, the pro-
prietors and habitues. In that case
doubtless the services will be very inter.
